Ditch the airport queues, flight delays, and strict luggage limits this summer! This brilliant 12-night sailing lets you step straight onto your holiday right from Southampton.

You’ll start by exploring the historic old town of Vigo, before heading down to the gorgeous botanical paradise of Madeira.

MSC Virtuosa is packed with cool features. Our absolute highlights:

🌊 The Water Park:

• Located up on Deck 19, the Savannah Aquapark is one of the largest and most intricate water parks at sea.

• The Slides: It features three epic, multi-story water slides, including two side-by-side racing tube slides where you can race your friends on inflatable rings, and a fast bowl slide.

• The Splash Area: Perfect for families and kids, the park includes an interactive splash pool equipped with water cannons, spraying jets, and a massive tipping bucket that thoroughly drenches anyone standing underneath.

• Cost: Access to the water park and all slides is completely included in your cruise fare.

🤖 The Robotic Bartender

• MSC Virtuosa is famous for hosting the MSC Starship Club, a retro-futuristic lounge designed to feel like a spaceship.

• The star of the bar is Rob, the world's first humanoid robotic bartender at sea. He isn't just a basic mechanical arm. He has a customised robotic body that moves naturally, an LED face to show emotions, and a witty personality.

• He tells jokes, busts out occasional dance moves if he's in the mood, and speaks 8 different languages, automatically adapting to whatever language you use to order.

💡 While the experience is an absolute must-see novelty, the "cosmic" drinks served by Rob usually cost a bit extra and aren't typically covered by standard drinks packages.

Additional Information

We might be pirates, but we’re an honest bunch. We check all our deals when we review them to make sure everything is available. However, with deals this hot, things change quickly—flight prices fluctuate, hotel rooms sell out, currencies yo-yo. And just so you know, local taxes might still apply – even treasure has its fine print. But mainly, demand for the best deals means the lowest prices don’t last long. If you’ve missed out this time, don’t worry, we’re working on more great offers.
